the Board of Town Commissioners held
Tuesday night the resignation of Mayor
Davis was accepted and Commissioner A

The GOLD LEAF congratulates Mr. Davis
upon the fact that he retreS with the con-
seriousness Of duty we'll performed during
his short official term and commends the
Board for the wisdom of their selections in
filling the Offices thus made vacant. Mr..
Persse has already shown himself capa-
ble and efficient Chief Magistrate while
Mr.. Cooper's long service as Town Com
missioner and Mayor entitle him to respect
as one of the bea and mast useful town Of
fcials we have had With Mayor Persse
and his able coadjuters Messrs. r. l.. Dain-
gerfeld, R. Perry, W. W. Young, E. A.
Watkins and j. ID. Cooper our municipal
affairs will be carefully guarded and the
welfare and prosperity of the town pro-
NOTED in every legitimate way. In this
undertaking let them have the cordial sup
port and sympathy of the citizens of Hen

able him to discharge his full duty needs
nothing less than this. Let us then not
withhold from them our aid and encourage
